Thanks a lot guys! Lots of good tips! I'd also be curious if the type of foot used makes a significant difference? Also, does silnylon iron ok? Would I be able to iron a fold to make hemming the...
Thanks for the recommendations guys! I have two women in the house as well so bobby pins aren't hard to find. That's partly why I was curious about the hair clips, my daughter has loads of those...
I'm looking to enter the realm of top quilts. I've been using a big agnes bag for the last few years but think it's time I try a quilt. When selecting fabric colors is there more to it than personal...
I'm looking to start a tarp project and would love some input on sewing silnylon. I've done quite a few little projects here and there but nothing big and never with silnylon. I'm looking at using...
Looking to get into the quilt world. Any interest in a trade for a Big Agnes Bellyache bag?
Cool! Looks comfortable!
The trekking pole has worked without any issue or even the slightest sign of failure in the sits I've done so far. I weigh about 175. A friend of mine made something similar last year and has used a...
Just finished up a hammock seat for this years hunting trips. Turkey season isn't too far off and this should work great! I decided to go with the old school trebark camo and really like how it...
I'm sure there are many that are already aware of this but I thought i'd mention it for the few that don't know... I had a couple broken arrows that I took to Sportsmans Warehouse this past week to...
I'm in!! Thanks a bunch for the giveaway!
I'm curious about the braided polyester mason line type stuff... Where do you find that pgibson??
Thanks for mentioning those other options MAD777. I'm glad you said something about the weight. I had looked at both the Gline and ULD Spectra Cord previously but because I had been looking at the...
I just received my WB Mamajamba tarp and i've been trying to find some good lightweight guylines for it. While researching, I found this very helpful comparison on "Brian's Backpacking Blog". Some...
Thanks for all the replies guys! Originally I had written off the tadpole but I think it's a lightweight option that should be looked at for the longer hammocks. When I first compared the edge with...
No problem, it's no secret. If you go to the WB website and click on the promotions tab, they explain that you can inquire about blemish products. I contacted Warbonnet via email and just asked if...
So does it serve any real purpose? Is it on the tail end of the main line that wraps around the tree?
Im a noob so bear with me on this. Whats the purpose of the stopper knot on the prusik? Im not grasping that piece... everything else looks great though!
Well, warbonnet had a blem mamajamba for a good deal so I went with it. Its probably a little more than i need but it should provide a little extra comfort for just a few ounces more. Now I just need...
Thanks for the link. Thats a bit heavier than id like. Looks like a great deal though!
Whats the weight on this? Depending on that i might be interested...
Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. You bring up some good points! Part of me wants to go super UL and abandon any luxuries but the other part wants to splurge a little bit. Every time I go...
demostix, what do you use to cover the ends of the hammock? Sounds like something I need to consider...
funny money, you're inbox is full...
@ rckdaddy, I picked up a WWM for myself about a month ago. Looks like a great hammock, looking forward to using it. My brother is a short dude, only 5'4", so I think he will do just fine with the...
My brother decided to take the plunge on some hammock gear with me so were looking to get him set up with some UL equipment.
Looking for a grand trunk Nano 7, whoopie slings and tree straps, and a...
It sounds like spinnaker wasn't is out of the question. Not sure I wan't to risk a wet night though so maybe its for the best. The weight savings sure did have me intrigued though. If only cuben...
Is there anyone that will make a custom spinn tarp to my requested dimensions?
I'm well on my way to getting started with hammock camping and I thank everyone for the help. I picked up a BIAS WWM with suspension and can't wait for it to warm up out this way so I can give it a...
Anyone have one???
Looking for a used but in good condition Warbonnet Edge Tarp.

Thanks for the warm welcomes and recommendations!
Quick question for everyone... What should my tarp dimensions be for an 11' hammock. How much tarp should I have beyond my hammock? Also when the specs list the hammock as 11' is that a flat hammock...
Thanks for all the help guys! You've given me some great input that should give me a good start.

That Darien UL looks like a good option.
I knew I missed a few thins. I'm talking hammock, tarp, suspension, and if I could get a good UQ and stay under 3 pounds that would be great. I'd like to...

New guy here, (I introduced myself in the intro's thread) looking for some expert advice. I understand that the question, "what's the best hammock?" is hard to answer so i'll try and...
